Job Title: Budget and Cost Control Lead

Location: London or Paris

Client: Operator

Employment Type: Renewable Contract


About You

You are an experienced professional with over 10 years in Budget and Cost Control Management, ideally with substantial exposure to large-scale energy or engineering projects. Your background includes creating, monitoring, and analysing project budgets and costs, with a particular focus on managing variances and optimizing financial performance. You’re proactive in implementing and refining cost control strategies and possess strong analytical skills for in-depth financial analysis and reporting. Additionally, you have experience collaborating across large teams and complex environments, ensuring that project costs align with organizational goals and financial objectives. Proficiency in English is required, and you hold a relevant qualification in a lead discipline.


About the Role

In this role, you’ll be instrumental in supporting the Full Field Development (FFD) Project, starting from the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase through to completion. You will work closely with project teams to monitor, manage, and control project expenditures, providing financial oversight to ensure the efficient use of resources and alignment with financial objectives. Key responsibilities include developing project budgets, analysing expenses, implementing cost control measures, and reporting to stakeholders. Additionally, you’ll assist in contract evaluations and negotiations to optimize costs, support proactive cost management, and ensure compliance with financial policies and regulations. You’ll also play an active role in the Change Management process by identifying deviations early and proposing corrective actions. This position will initially be based in Paris or London during the FEED phase, with potential relocation to Baku, Azerbaijan for the later project phases.


About the Company

The FFD project is managed by the Joint Operating Company of the Petroleum company in partnership with the company. The project, situated in the Caspian Sea offshore Azerbaijan, aims to provide natural gas to both domestic and international markets through major pipeline infrastructure. Working within a highly collaborative and multi-site environment, the company prioritizes safety, integrity, and efficiency in all its operations, guided by a strong commitment to its Code of Conduct and core values. The initial contract term is 12 months with a potential for renewal, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-impact project with significant global energy implications.
